Removal Procedure

    Important: The engine oil may be contaminated with fuel if the fuel injectors are leaking.


    Object Number: 585444  Size: MH
  1. Remove the fuel meter body assembly. Refer to Fuel Meter Body Assembly Replacement .
  2. Remove the injector assembly retainer (11) and the injector retainer lock nuts (10).
  3. Notice: Use care in removing the fuel injectors to prevent damage to the electrical connector terminals.

    The fuel injector is serviced as a complete assembly only.

    Also since the injectors are electrical components, these injectors should not be immersed in any type of liquid solvent or cleaner as damage may occur. Fuel injector cleaning is not recommended.

  4. While pulling the poppet nozzle tube downward, push with a small tip punch down between the injector terminals until the injector is removed.

  3. Object Number: 585444  Size: MH
  4. Install the fuel injector assembly (12) into the fuel meter body injector socket.

Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
